winaccent

A simple and lightweight Python module for getting Windows' accent color. With this module you can get both light and dark mode accent colors.

📦 Installation

Run this command in your terminal:

pip install winaccent

📜 Documentation

Get a specific accent color

Variable	Info
accent_light	Returns the light mode accent color
accent_dark	Returns the dark mode accent color
accent_normal	Returns the normal accent color

Example:

import winaccent

print(winaccent.accent_light) # Prints the light mode accent color

Update accent colors

The accent colors can be updated manually using the update_accent_colors() function. This function will retrieve the values again.

Accent color change listener

This module allows you to add a listener that will call a specific function when the accent color changes. Here's how you can add it:

import winaccent, threading

# Replace `callback` with the function that you want to be called
thread = threading.Thread(target = lambda: winaccent.on_accent_changed_listener(callback), daemon = True)
thread.start()

[!NOTE] If you added the listener, there's no need to call update_accent_colors because it will be called automatically every time the accent color changes.

Here is the output for the default (blue) accent color on Windows 11:
